Mar 17, 2007 Piscator34’s bottle shared during the MB DIPA Throwdown 07. Cheers to Kris for sharing this gem. One of the few rye beers I’ve had the pleasure of trying. Great looking beer - medium chesnut red color with solid head. Very sweet syrupy aroma to it. Taste is quite nice- very sweet ale and hops poked through more as it warmed.Not overly bitter and has a nice mouthfeel. Very rich brew from the rye malts. The hops are probably not given enough props due to being the last brew in the throwdown and my palate is screwed. very enjoyable beer- not top of my list of DIPA’s but nice change mostly due to the rye. Thanks again Kris!!

Mar 17, 2007 Bottled sample via presario. Sampled with Oakbluff on IIPA Saturday. Deep amber/red in colour with medium-low carbonation. Unlike the other IIPAs we’ve sampled today, this one has a strong aromatic malt presence to go along with the citric hops. Some rye bread smells also reveal themeselves as the beer warmed up. Heavy in the mouth with flavors of lightly toasted malt, rye bread, spicy hops, alcohol, and a bit of red grape. Medium bitterness. Good stuff, but not quite in the same class as the other IIPAs we tried today.

Mar 16, 2007 Bomber. Nice dark brown orange color, large khaki head. 50/50 between pine hops and very caramelly malt aroma, taste is the same with a little more citrus, alcohol, and rye obviously. Lots and lots of malts, unusual for a DIPA but not unpleasant.

Mar 16, 2007 Brown Coloring with Sandy Head. Hopped Aroma. Creamy Mouthfeel..Some Alc Warming...Rye Malt Foundation...Balances Dry Hop Cover and Aftertaste..Some Light Fruit Notes..Arguably One of the Better Balanced Rye Beers I’ve Had. Wonderful Double IPA

Mar 10, 2007 Pours clear red with a small beige head. Aroma of citrus(peach and orange) and sweet malts. Flavor of rye malt and hops. Finish is pretty dry and bitter.

Mar 5, 2007 22 oz. bottle - pours dark amber, cloudy and minimal white head; tastes likes this is all malts and few hops; so while i like the rich malts, it’s too unbalanced

Mar 4, 2007 Rye bread, grapefruit, and pine needles come through in the aroma. Bitter, with notes of peaches, orange peel, and toasty malts. More rye is noticeable in the finish. Not bad.
